CAITLYN JENNER’S STATEMENT ON THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF THE RECALL ELECTION DATE

For Immediate Release

July 1, 2021

“Gavin Newsom’s days of hurting Californians will soon be over. In just 75 days, we will elect a governor who will put the people of California first instead of special interest groups and Sacramento lobbyists. As I said when I first announced my campaign, Californians want and deserve better from their governor. We have seen what a Gavin-led California looks like—businesses leaving, jobs evaporating, homelessness rising, taxes increasing, and out-of-control violence.

“When he shut us down for over a year, he lived it up at the French Laundry. When he prohibited our children from going back to classrooms to continue their education, he sent his kids to a private school for in-person teaching. His hypocrisy knows no bounds.

“In these next few months, I will continue to meet with everyday Californians across this state to listen to their voices and share my vision to restore the luster of the Golden State. We have a real opportunity to beat Gavin Newsom and the status quo, but it will require someone who is a true outsider and compassionate disruptor to meet that challenge.”
